Community & Student Life Traditions

Founded in 1970, Greensboro Day School was Greensboro’s first independent school.

For more than 50 years, GDS has built a reputation for offering the best, most well-rounded educational experience in the Triad region of North Carolina. Today, GDS is a vibrant school community serving students from age two to grade twelve on a beautiful 80-acre campus.
